Levein happy to recall QPR striker Mackie to Scotland squad

Scotland coach Craig Levein is delighted to have QPR striker Jamie Mackie again available.

Mackie has recently returned from a broken leg and Levein was eager to get him back involved.

"I'm a big fan of Jamie Mackie," he said. "The Tartan Army haven't had the opportunity to see as much of him as I have.

"He has had to battle very hard to get back from a very serious injury. In the minutes he has played since he has come back, he has been excellent.

"He made a big improvement in the QPR team when he came on at half-time against Tottenham on Sunday."
